Good day!
Can anyone share their experience how to attach MinGW-compiler to Sublime?
I found a config in the internet, but when I run compiled program popping bugs with missing files from "../MinGW/bin/".
Config:
{
"cmd": ["mingw32-g++.exe", "-o", "$file_base_name", "$file_name"],
"path": "c:\\Program Files\\MinGW\\bin\\"
}
Thanks!
UPD
I found answer for my question! I had to add one parameter in cmd. It's "-static".
So, it's my MinGW.sublime-build, which works fine:
{
"path": "c:\\Program Files\\MinGW\\bin\\",
"cmd": ["mingw32-g++.exe", "-static", "-o", "$file_base_name", "$file"]
}
Make sure to include the bin file in the "Path" variable on your system.
Open the start menu and type "variable" or "environment variable" (or google it) to find how to do it. You'll get in a Window with a lot of variables, find the Path (and not PATH) variable and add the path to the bin folder of MinGW.
And btw, as suggested, you should change file_base_name by file, and put file_base_name where you put file_base.
Here's the command I personally use:
"cmd": ["C:\\MinGW\\bin\\mingw32-g++.exe", "-Wall", "-time", "$file", "-o", "$file_base_name"]
You should be using $file instead of $file_name. $file_name expands to only the name whereas $file expands to the full path.
The changed config would be
{
"cmd": ["mingw32-g++.exe", "-o", "$file_base_name", "$file"],
"path": "c:\\Program Files\\MinGW\\bin\\"
}

I frequently create small toy programs in vscode. Every time I do, I need to modify the tasks.json file to compile using C++20. I would like to use C++20 by default.
An example solution: when I open a directory in vscode for the first time, the tasks.json file should automatically include the following
"args": [
"-fdiagnostics-color=always",
"-g",
"-std=c++20",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
],
I am using Ubuntu.
I am trying to create a build system for building C++ files in Sublime Text 3. I have installed MinGW and have correctly set the environment path.
I have created a build system as:
{
"cmd": ["C:\\MinGW\\bin\\g++", "${file}", "-o", "${file_path}\\${file_base_name}"],
"file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
"working_dir": "${file_path}",
"selector": "source.c, source.c++",
"shell": "true",
"variants":
[
{
"name": "Run",
"cmd": ["start", "cmd.exe", "#cmd", "/k", "${file_path}\\${file_base_name}"]
}
]
}
However, since the directory which contains the C++ file has a whitespace in it (C:\Users\Bryan Adams PC\Documents\C++), when I try to build the file, it says 'C:\Users\Bryan' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
What changes should I make to the build in order to be able to use this directory?
I've tried adding double quotes around the filepaths as \". However it does not work. I have no idea about JSON.
I really prefer writing code in sublime text or anything else. So, naturally that's what I want to use. However, when I try to open the file in Netbeans, I get an error. So, I want to know how I can save a .cpp file from sublime text and then go about running it through the command prompt. I know I have to set up a path or something, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Thanks for any help at all. Also, I am new to C++ and programming in general(have dabbled in Python a bit).
EDIT: Really sorry, I meant how do I actually execute/run the file afterwards. Like if the program were to just print out "Hello World".
The following build system should suit your needs, assuming that you're using the GNU Compiler Collection and g++ for compiling your .cpp files:
{
"cmd": ["g++", "${file}", "-o", "${file_base_name}"],
"file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
"working_dir": "${file_path}",
"selector": "source.c, source.c++",
"variants":
[
{
"name": "Run",
"cmd": ["${file_base_name}"]
}
]
}
Please note that the following instructions are for Sublime Text 2 only...
To use it, select Preferences -> Browse Packages... to open the Packages folder in Windows Explorer. It should be located in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2. Or not, depending on your install. In either case, browse to the C++ directory and open the file C++.sublime-build in Sublime and set the syntax to JSON if you want it to look prettier. Replace its entire contents with the code above, then save the file. The old code is kind of convoluted, and also runs some commands needlessly.
Now, set the build system by going to Tools -> Build System and selecting Automatic. Assuming that g++ is in your PATH, you can build your executable using the CtrlB keyboard shortcut, also available via Tools -> Build. If your binary has already been compiled, you can run it by pressing CtrlShiftB.
One final note: if your program asks for any kind of input, or has a graphical user interface, this Run command won't work. Instead, replace it with the following:
"name": "Run",
"cmd": ["start", "cmd", "/k", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}"],
"shell": true
This will open a new instance of the command line and run your program from there, instead of inside Sublime. The /k switch means that the window will be kept open after your program has run, so you can examine output, errors, etc. If instead you want the window to close immediately, simply change the /k to /c.
Good luck!
Well all I've seen for build systems for C++ is the following:
"build_systems":
[
{
"name: "g++ test",
"cmd": ["g++", "${file}"],
"shell": true
}
{
"name": "echo test",
"cmd": ["echo", "${file}"],
"shell": true
}
]
Just as a test, this only works for the currently opened file, which might not even be a source file nor part of the sublime project. So this is good for a test program that only has one source but it isn't that useful otherwise.
Question 1:
Is there any ${project_files} variable with regex to accept only .cpp files ?
Question 2:
I would want to pass these files to qmake, such that it generates a .pro project file. Such that if I add a file to a sublime project it and build the file will be added to the project file. How would I do this without shell script or otherwise such that it's cross platform ?
I want to be able to save my files in E:\Documents\C++ and then be able to run and compile them. My MinGW location is E:\MinGW\bin. Everything is saved on a USB flash drive. I am using SublimeText to run and compile these files. Everything works fine if i save the C++ files in the E:\MinGW\bin folder. I just want to be able to change where to save the files and build and run them. Also I am using this as my sublime-build file
{
"cmd": ["g++", "${file}", "-o", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}"],
"file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
"working_dir": "${file_path}",
"selector": "source.c, source.c++",
"variants":
[
{
"name": "Run",
"cmd": ["${file_path}/${file_base_name}.exe"]
}
]
}
Your path should contain E:\MinGW\bin (or you should give full path for g++)
You want to change your home directory and your path for mingw.

Here is a page that tells you how to build a cpp file,
